I went to our local Pride festival a couple of years ago to watch a friend perform. Ours is very small and less colorful/lively compared to San Diego, but at least we do have one. I had no idea San Diego’s has the 4th largest parade in the country–sounds fun. I’m doing some extra cooking this weekend so I have leftovers for the freezer. In fact, I plan to scroll thru your recipe archives for an idea (or two)! Enjoy your weekend!

Averie,
I’m so happy to see a Pride post from you! It’s very refreshing to know that there are supportive people out there of the LGBT community. Enjoy the festival! Our pride was at the beginning of June and it’s one of my favorite weekends of the year.
Have fun!

When I saw you were doing a Pride post and happily choosing to support Pride Parade, I was really excited! So glad there are other like-minded, tolerant bloggers out there who support a great cause and a wonderful community of people! It sounds like SO much fun. One day I want to make a day trip to Pride in SF but I know parking will be ridiculous so maybe I’ll make it a weekend trip :) have fun, take pictures!

And one last thing–here in Sacramento there’s a vegan/veggie cafe called Sunflower and they have these AWESOME burgers called “Nutburgers” made with nutmeat. They won’t tell me what’s in the patty but it’s obviously nuts + grains. Do you or have you made/seen any recipes for something like that for patties? I’ve been dying to recreate them at home!

I went to Halloween in the Castro one year in SF about 7-8 yrs ago – now that was crazy :)

Two bloggers which have a extensive collection of bean/nut burgers on their site are gena/choosingraw dot com and angela/ohsheglows dot com Either one of them have tons of bean/seed/nut burger combos and I bet you’ll find something that you’ll enjoy!

Yay for Pride! Ill be there recycling with my friends org, 1:1! Also note to self, do not make cookie butter funfetti bars with yellow cake in a too small pan. They will not be bars. Still ooey gooey thou (opposite of the dry ones I made last time, looks like someone will be buying a 9×13 pan!)

Wow, Averie…I don’t even know where to begin with all of these selections. The photo and description that popped out at me were the sweet potato/graham cracker fries. I think would be a terrific option when I really crave something sweet but don’t want to have a totally splurge wipeout. Have a wonderful “Pride” weekend in the city!

they are SO GOOD. They have been an under-loved recipe and I don’t really know why (just one that didn’t get that much attention – maybe the photos aren’t pretty?) I don’t know but if I could pick one thing in this post to have, I think that is it. They are like candy in potato form!

Ironically I was on your site yesterday (we were both linked up in javelin warrior’s roundup) and I saw your amazing beet chips! Or someone’s roundup? Anyway, saw those chips :)

Thanks to this I now have ten different cravings going on at once, haha. Maybe I’m just hungry;)
As for the weekend, I actually started it with your recipe for peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip cookie dough balls. I made them for a girls night in party last night. Good stuff. They were appreciated!

It would be awesome to be able to park our car for the weekend or for the week! We drive waaaay too much. Even now we’re closer to civilization and still rack up some hefty mileage. And I swear it has nothing to do with my shopping trips. (lying) :)

I have never actually been to a Pride festival before but about two years ago me and my family. Where on vacation and the town we stayed in actually was finishing there Pride Festival for the weekend so I got to see the last part of the festival.

HELL YEA to pride weekend Averie!!!! LOVE this post so much. And I bet it was a fabulous weekend, too. Your website is full of so may wonderful colorful recipes AND colorful backgrounds and dish ware. One of my favorite thing about Averie Cooks is all the pretty colors :)
